Younus AlGohar’s eye-opening lecture exposing the magnitude of the modifications to the religion of Islam made by people like Ibn Taymiyyah and the role his tenets have played in shaping the Muslim community today. Younus AlGohar also explains what triggered the religious scholars to vehemently oppose His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi and His mission.

Main points:

- During his lifetime, Prophet Mohammad would be under a constant shower of divine theophanies. Prophet Mohammad said, ‘If someone visits my grave, it will be as if he visited me during my lifetime,’ which simply means that the grave of Prophet Mohammad would also be under the divine theophanies. When Prophet Mohammad made this statement, it was a reference to spiritual knowledge. Prophet Mohammad’s benevolence is available to be availed; the benevolence of all the Grand Messengers is valid until the Day of Judgement.

- Spiritual knowledge was not permitted to be spread. People like Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Jozi, Ibn Qayyam, Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab Najadi project an interpretation of the religion which rejects spiritual knowledge and encourages people to become enemies of spirituality. Ibn Taymiyyah had the audacity to say that whoever visits the shrine of Prophet Mohammad commits Shirk and Biddah (innovation in the religion) - completely going against Prophet Mohammad’s own statement about visiting his grave. Ibn Taymiyyah rejected the notion that there could be saints of God and the necessity for any intermediary between a man and God. However, Prophet Mohammad served as an intermediary; and then spiritually transferred the duty to Moula Ali, who started the chain of saints in Islam who would serve as intermediaries. But the corrupt clerics have made everything in the religion subject to doubts.

- In this era, when disbelief, innovation and Shirk have reached their culmination, HDE Gohar Shahi set foot on Earth. He gave the true concept of Divine Oneness, Prophethood and sainthood - as God wanted. He began the Heart Enlightenment Movement, the campaign to bring God’s name into people’s hearts, hence bringing in faith. This was when all the Satans in whatever guise they were, united in opposition of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi.

- Wherever HDE Gohar Shahi went, He spoke the truth regardless of whether or not people liked it. When the Wahhabis and Deobandis and Shiites and Sunnis came to know that HDE Gohar Shahi does not fear anyone, they realised that He is the truth and they tried their utmost to suppress HDE Gohar Shahi. HDE Gohar Shahi exposed the religious scholars and the pseudo-Sufis alike, so they became His enemies. Then HDE Gohar Shahi delivered a monumental speech at Mochi Darwaza, Lahore attended by 7 million people. After Mochi Darwaza, the politicians and Pakistani agencies felt threatened; they thought, ‘What if Gohar Shahi takes over the country in an Ayatullah Khomenei style revolution?’ Then the media of Pakistan, the agencies, religious scholars, judiciary, police, etc. all began opposing HDE Gohar Shahi. That was when HDE Gohar Shahi removed the clouds of benevolence from the area of Pakistan.

- Now the time is near for the Revolution of Rapturous Love. We have been in a transition period. For example, the automobile industry is steadily transitioning towards fully electric vehicles. Similarly firstly when a prophet comes, there is servitude, worship and abstinence; after that is the era of saints, known as the Era of Mercy - in which people worship less and people are blessed through the Merciful Glance of the Saints. Now we are in the era in which there is only Rapturous Love available; we are in the era when through HDE Gohar Shahi’s benevolence, people’s hearts, Lower Selves are being purified at the same time. No such generous personality has ever come or shall ever come again.

Is divorce only valid when it is said three times or just once? Younus AlGohar answers this question with a unique perceptive.

Main points:

- People often say that God does not approve of divorce, however, this applies only to marriages arranged according to God’s instructions in the Koran. If an enlightened man and an enlightened woman marry, then it’s done upon God’s given criteria. If they divorce, this would anger God. However, if an enlightened man and an unenlightened woman were to marry, their divorce wouldn’t affect God at all since their marriage was not in accordance with his advice, to begin with.

- If an enlightened man and woman marry, the divine energy in their hearts would keep them together. Then in this scenario, if matters deteriorate, the husband can serve his wife part one of the divorce. As the wife is enlightened, she may feel blameworthy after this and feel inclined to reconcile.

- Prophet Mohammad said, ‘Marry because of religion, see how devout he/she is.’ Prophet Mohammad also said, ‘Marry someone you love.’ If people follow this and try to get to know someone before they marry them, people in the Muslim community point fingers at them and say they are having a love affair. The custom of arranging marriage and not allowing the bride and groom to spend time with one another until the wedding is not what Islam teaches.

- Prophet Mohammad introduced the method of giving time when going through a divorce. Approach the wife softly. Don’t just give a divorce because of something minor. When Prophet Mohammad found out that a woman’s marriage was done against her will, he immediately had her divorced and told the woman’s parents to let her marry according to her own choice.

What are Sawab (rewards) and what does it mean when it is said that you shall earn rewards for the good deeds you perform? Younus AlGohar categorically answers this question posed to him by a viewer.

Main points:

- Sawab (rewards) are like cryptocurrency; they do not actually exist in of themselves. The general concept that people have is that the angels on their shoulders are writing down their good deeds in their Book of Deeds. However the angels only write down the good deeds which are good in the eyes of God.

- Your actions will be judged by the intentions behind them, according to a Prophetic Tradition. If you help the needy simply because you want to earn rewards, it will not be counted as a good deed in God’s eyes. Rather, God will want to see whether or not you felt genuine sympathy and empathy for the person you were helping - and if you did, he would count that as a good deed.

- The religious clerics in Pakistan play havoc with the religion. Eating is not allowed in the mosques, however the religious clerics look for loopholes for everything. They say that if you mean to eat in the mosque, simply say that you are going to perform Ehtakaf (the last 10 days of Ramadan spent in the mosque exhibiting one’s devotion to Islam) - as if to fool God - and then go on to eat. This is a testament to the corruption in their minds. Even if you say that you plan to observe Ehtakaf, your real intentions are to eat in the mosque. So to do this is to commit a form of fraud.

Younus AlGohar’s response to a daily viewer who asked how he can stop himself from falling prey to his Lower Self (Latifa-e-Nafs).

Main points:

- The whole world is subject to their Lower Selves and there is only one way to stop this: we must teach the Spiritual Heart to recite the name of God; once it starts reciting the name of God, it will generate divine energy which will eventually reach the Lower Self. A Prophetic Tradition says, ‘One who has purifies his Lower Self has recognised his Lord.’ God says in the Koran 87:14, ‘I am hidden behind veil of your Lower Selves, but you never glance inside yourself to find me.’ So, purifying your Lower Self is the main task.

- God has placed seven spirits within us. Five of those spirits are in our chests, The Spiritual Heart (Qalb), the Main Human Soul (Rouh), Sirri, Khafi and Akhfa. One spirit is in our head through the help of which we are able to think and comprehend: the Ana. There is also a spirit placed at our navel point for which Prophet Mohammad said, ‘When a human is born, then a Satanic Jinn is also born with him.’ The Companions asked him, ‘Was a Jinn born with you as well?’ and Prophet Mohammad replied, ‘Yes, there was; but it was purified in my company.’

- The Lower Self is a satanic germ. When a baby is born and it comes out of the mother’s womb, angels stand there and insert the Main Human Soul and accompanying spirits into the baby which is why the baby starts crying. Along with angels, the Satan stands there too; he has the permission by God to insert his satanic germ, the Lower Self, into the baby. That satanic germ enters the baby’s body and sits at the navel point. The Lower Self is a small germ when it first enters the baby’s body but in 12 years, it grows up and becomes a fully-grown Jinn. The Lower Self compels us commit immoral acts and drags us towards the world. To purify the Lower Self is try Islam. Until the Lower Self is purified, in God’s eyes we are impure. People became great saints only after they have purified their Lower Selves.

- God asked everyone to bow down to Adam but the the Devil didn’t. When God asked why, he said, ‘I’m better than him, I’m made from fire and he is made from clay’. We all have an impure Jinn in us which is why we also think we are the best. Until you purify your Lower Self, you will keep hearing this word: Me. You won’t see anybody else. When it gets purified, ‘Me’ comes out with divine energy. The Spiritual Guide’s purpose is to engage people’s hearts in recitation of God’s name and the Lower Self too. Once it is purified, God notices you. The whole of Islam is this: to get a hold of the Devil inside and make it a Muslim. People keep beards and make themselves a Muslim from the outside but don’t even bother with the Devil inside.

- ‘Every Lower Self must taste death.’ When the the Lower Self is purified, it takes on the same appearance as that of your body. So what’s the point of purifying the Lower Self? Firstly, those evil doings and temptations will be gone. Secondly, when you die, your soul goes to the higher realms. Your Lower Self will sit in the gave and continue reciting God’s name which will benefit your soul. Similarly, if your heart is purified, then sub-spirits will emerge from within it and they will sit in the grave and recite God’s name too. And the rewards of their recitation will be reaped by your soul. That's why people say these saints are still alive.

- After the Day of Judgement, all the Lower Selves will die and God will give the Devout Believers entering the Paradise new Lower Selves (Nafs-e-Qudsi, who praise God). The Lower Self is not purified by worship alone, no matter how much you do it. You will only successful manage to purify your Lower Self and heart with the Koran when your Lower Self and heart - not your tongue - engage in invocation of God’s name.

Younus AlGohar’s reply to a viewer who asked what Sufism is, whether or not Sufism comes from Prophet Mohammad and whether or not Prophet Mohammad also granted the Companions the Opening of the Spiritual Heart (Zikr-e-Qalb).

Main points:

- The Koran mentions the teachings of Sufism. In one verse, God said to invoke upon God while standing, sitting and tossing and turning in bed. It mentions that those will be successful who bring with them a Qalb-e-Saleem (Secured Spiritual Heart). A Sufi is one who cleanses his heart and body through invocation of God’s name and divine energy - and he does so in a way that he removes all else but God from within him. A Prophetic Tradition states that the hearts of Devout Believers become the divine abode; so there must be teachings that shape up such a heart: Sufism. Prophet Mohammad and God appointed Ali to spread the teachings of Sufism; Prophet Mohammad said that he is the City of Knowledge and Ali is its gate. The knowledge of Sufism was transferred spiritually from the chest of Prophet Mohammad to the chest of Ali, and Ali then transferred it to Sufis in the same fashion.

- Prophet Mohammad also gave the Opening of the Spiritual Heart just as HDE Gohar Shahi does. Prophet Mohammad told Ali, ‘Close your eyes. You will hear the Motto of Faith resounding from your heart. Listen.’ The Koran 39:22 says that whosoever has obtained Shahr-e-Sadr (Opening of the Chest) for Islam, they will receive divine energy from their Lord. So in light of this, you adopt Islam only once you have obtained Shahr-e-Sadr. The same verse of the Koran states that destruction will be upon those whose hearts are so hard that invocation of God’s name does not enter it; all their worship will go to waste. The Koran 21:7 instructs the seekers who would come after Prophet Mohammad’s era to ask the Ahle Zikr (Saints) for what they did not know. The heart is the only instrument through which man is connected to God; when God grants you guidance, he guides your heart. If God’s name enters your heart, you are a Devout Believer; and the Koran says that if God’s name does not enter your heart, it is open misguidance.

- Prophet Mohammad said, ‘My eyes sleep but my heart does not.’ What is it for the heart to sleep or stay awake? Prophet Mohammad’s heart engaged in the invocation of God’s name; that is what it meant for his heart to stay awake. If this referred to the physical heart, then the heart’s activity is to pump and oxygenate blood - if this act of the heart is stopped, then you will die. So how can you tell whether your physical heart is ‘sleeping or awake’ in light of what Prophet Mohammad said? Objections to the role of the heart in spirituality and Sufism come from people who are not familiar with Sufism. Islam itself is Sufism; Sufism means to cleanse oneself: to purify their Lower Self, heart and entire being.

- A Tradition of Prophet Mohammad states, ‘If you have even a trace of arrogance in your heart, you are unworthy of entering Paradise.’ But how does one remove arrogance from the heart? People read the Koran but they don’t have the teachings through which they can get rid of the arrogance in their hearts. The knowledge that purifies the heart of arrogance is Sufism. It is strange for a Muslim to object to the invocation of God’s name in the heart. Whether God’s name is mentioned verbally or in the heart, it is a good thing. Secondly, the only way to follow God’s instructions in Koran 4:103 is to have the name of God throbbing in your heart; otherwise how can one mention God’s name while they sleep?

Younus AlGohar explains what God meant in Koran 48:1 when he told Prophet Mohammad that the past and future sins of his Companions had been forgiven after the Conquest of Mecca.

- When Mecca was conquered, the invocation of the hearts of Companions of Prophet Mohammad who had obtained spiritual knowledge and benevolence had reached 125 000 a day consistently. On the occasion of the Conquest of Mecca, in Koran 48:1, God said to Prophet Mohammad that for his sake, God removed his veils and was unveiled before those Companions. And the past and future sins of those Companions had been forgiven.

- If a person’s heart reaches the invocation of 125 000 a day, then for them to qualify to be at this stage in spirituality, their heart must consistently reach 125 000 repetitions of God’s name a day. And this is only possible for the hearts God has granted permission to reach 125 000 repetitions of his name a day. The 125 000 invocations a day is the culmination of worship; if someone’s heart does this every day, then he is basically saying to God that he wants to be promoted from the stage of worship to God’s Rapturous Love. If your heart reaches and stays at this stage, then you are guaranteed to see God and you will be worthy of the Firdaus paradise. And all his past and future sins have been forgiven.

- What does it mean for someone’s past and future sins to be forgiven? It means they will come under the theophanies of God. 360 theophanies would fall upon them. One theophany of God burns seven Great Sins (esoteric sins). So when 360 theophanies would be falling upon them, would they have any sins left?

- In one Prophetic Tradition, Prophet Mohammad said that God’s name is pure and cannot stay in an impure place; in another, Prophet Mohammad said that the means of polishing the heart is the invocation of God’s name. These two statements appear to contradict each other, but they don’t. The meaning of the first Prophetic Tradition is that the Spiritual Guide must first cleanse the heart with his Merciful Glance; then, the seed of God’s name can be implanted in the heart; so when the Spiritual Guide does this, the disciple’s heart is cleansed of the past sins. Then, once the invocation begins in the heart, God’s name will not allow sins to penetrate the heart.

- The meaning of this verse of the Koran is that after the Conquest of Mecca, God allowed the hearts of certain Companions of the Prophet to reach the invocation of 125 000 a day who would not have been able to do so in normal circumstances - and thus their past and future sins were forgiven. God said that it was for Prophet Mohammad’s sake - meaning that those Companions were being granted this divine gift solely due to their association with Prophet Mohammad.

Is it permissible to watch Islamic movies centred around important figures in Islam, like the ones produced by Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Hollywood, etc? Watch this video for Younus AlGohar’s answer.

Main points:

- People have made many videos. Hollywood has made movies about Samson and Delilah, Jesus, Prophet Mohammad, etc. Movies have been made on various topics from action to politics. But the producers of these movies decided to target the religious audience by making such movies. The ones who make these movies, to dramatise the story, they add their own twists, turns and embellishments to get the desired effect. As a result, they do not accurately convey what really happened, however, the viewer leaves the cinema thinking that what they just saw is what happened in reality with the historical and religious figures the movie portrayed.

- Just look at Pakistani dramas. If the director is part of the Wahhabi sect, the characters in his show will follow his tenets and he will use the drama to convey his belief system. And if the director is a Sunni, he will not project his tenet in the drama, but he will definitely include a scene of a Sufi shrine at some point in the drama. Films are a very dangerous tool; people will remember films better than they would remember books that were of the same length as the film scripts.

- Growing up in Pakistan, we often heard from religious clerics about the tragedy of Karbala. The way the religious clerics described the battlefield of Karbala was scene by scene. The question then arises: was there somebody on the battlefield of Karbala who simply sat there, recording every passing moment? How could that be? The first book that was compiled in Islamic history was done so 200 years after the demise of Prophet Mohammad. And the incident of Karbala took place in 680 AD, approximately 150 years before any written record. How would those writing the record 150 years later know whether what they were being told about the incident Karbala was true or not?

- An example of how movies distort history is The Da Vinci Code. The Holy Grail was a bowl that was used to collect Jesus Christ’s blood that fell from his wounds while he was on the cross. However, The Da Vinci Code movie tried to portray that Mary Magdalene’s womb was the Holy Grail and where Jesus Christ’s sperm entered and stayed. This is how much they changed the truth. And they projected that Jesus had a child and Mary Magdalene was his girlfriend. This is all blasphemous; people made up stories like this just to make money.

- Religious films are not entertainment. If you just want to watch a movie for entertainment, then watch something else. Do not watch religious films. If you watch videos produced by the Arab film industry about Ameer Mauwiya, you will end up thinking he was a fair and great man; similarly, if you watch their films about Yazeed, you will be left with the impression that Yazeed was in the right during the Battle of Karbala. Therefore, it is better not to watch films that appear to be Islamic because they will leave a profound effect on your mind.

Younus AlGohar answers a question from a viewer who asked whether Islam permits one to wear amulets with God's name or Prophet Mohammad's name for protection and blessings.

Main points:

- Amulets (Taweez) consist of paper with God's name or verses of the Koran or Prophet Mohammad's name that you wear around your neck. But God has made man the greatest of all creation (Ashrafun Maklooqat). Instead of writing God's name on a piece of paper, why not write it upon your heart?

- His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi is writing God's name upon people's hearts, not on paper. He is giving them the Amulet of the Heart. If you rely on a physical amulet for blessings and protection, then how are you the 'greatest of all creation'? Once you have God's name written upon your heart, you will become a man of God and reach God; then you won't need any Imam to argue on your behalf. Get God's name written upon your heart so that you don't have to rely on a piece of paper.

- Wearing an amulet is not a sin. Many people believe it to be a sin, but it is not. There is nothing wrong with wearing an amulet that has God or Prophet Mohammad's name written on it. Amulets are effective only when a saint of God makes them and gives them to you because he will assign angels along with the verse of the Koran that he writes in your amulet; the angels will then protect you/bless you.

- Amulets are permissible as long as they are created by saints; otherwise, the amulets made by the Amaleen who make them in exchange for money are useless. The Amaleen in Pakistan not only loot women who go to them for amulets but they also physically dishonour them. What they do is Shirk. Many people use amulets as a way to perform black magic. So it is better not to get amulets; rather, get God's name written on your heart while you still can.

Younus AlGohar answers a question from a viewer who asked: after Prophet Mohammad, is it necessary to have faith in the Khilafat-e-Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate)? What does Islam say about those who curse Moula Ali?

Main points:

- Whoever disrespects and blasphemes Moula Ali is deprived of faith, whether it be Ameer Muawiya or Tariq Jameel.

- The concept of the Khilafat-e-Rashidah is fundamentally unacceptable. The word ‘Rashideen’ comes from the root word ‘Izn-o-Irshad’. One who has Izn-o-Irshad is a Murshid (Spiritual Guide). Therefore the meaning of ‘Khilafat-e-Rashidah’ would be the Caliphs whom God granted Izn-o-Irshad and were appointed as Spiritual Guides - not those who became Caliphs by being voted into power by the Banu Umayyah. God has said in the Koran that God has the responsibility of granting guidance; no prophet or Companion can grant guidance to just anyone they want. So if one cannot become a Devout Believer (Momin) without God’s permission, then how can one be a Rightly Guided Caliph by himself? So the term, ‘Khulifa-e-Rashideen’ has been coined by people, not God.

- God said in Koran 5:67 to Prophet Mohammad, ‘If you do not tell people this truth [that has been revealed unto you], you have not done justice to your post as Prophet.’ This did not refer to the Koran itself - because Prophet Mohammad had already been sharing what was revealed unto him with people. Rather this referred to a private conversation between God and Prophet Mohammad, Hadith-e-Qudsi, in which God told Prophet Mohammad about Moula Ali. ‘For whosoever I am Moula, Ali is also Moula,’ and ‘I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate.’ And God told Prophet Mohammad and Ali was to be the caretaker of the Muslim Nation. Had this been revealed in the Koran itself, Prophet Mohammad would not have hesitated to tell people lest there be some kind of mischief as a result.

- When Prophet Mohammad said, ‘For whosoever I am Moula, Ali is also Moula,’ it meant, ’Those who Prophet Mohammad connect with God should know that Ali can also connect people with God.’ This was a direct appointment; Moula Ali was supposed to take charge of the Muslim Nation’s exoteric and esoteric affairs after Prophet Mohammad’s physical departure from the world. However, this is not what happened and the history is very painful.

- When it finally came time for Moula Ali to take the reigns, he did not have an opportunity to give people the knowledge of spirituality. There were 10 000 Khwarijeen in his era and he spent his time in power fighting against them and their mischief. He had to wage a war against them and 5000 Khwarijeen were killed. When Moula Ali put his sword to the bellies of the dead bodies of the Khwarijeen, swine came out from there. Ameer Muawiya plotted against Moula Ali and in his plots; when Unman-e-Ghani was killed, the person responsible had apparently pledged allegiance to Moula Ali. Ameer Mauwiya alleged that Moula Ali was protecting the killer; therefore there was a war between them to settle this matter. In his plots, Ameer Muawiya managed to convince Bibi Aisha to support him in this matter. And Ameer Muawiya was the man who went to mosques and made the Imams curse Moula Ali; such a man cannot be known as a Companion of Prophet Mohammad.

- Ameer Muawiya was the son of Hinda (who ate the liver of Prophet Mohammad’s dear uncle) and Abu Safiyan (who was infamous for his enmity again Prophet Mohammad). Ameer Muawiya’s own son, Yazeed, drenched Karbala in the blood of Prophet Mohammad’s Household; defiled the Prophet’s Mosque, attacked Kaaba and killed 10 000 Muslims in Mecca. He did not allow Muslims to give the Call of Prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque for three days. And then certain religious scholars still claim that Yazeed will enter paradise!

In this incredible Q&A session, Younus AlGohar answers questions LIVE from 27 Islamic scholars with ties to Jamia Binoria in Karachi and Dar-ul-Uloom Naeemia. The scholars asked about spirituality, Imam Mehdi, Islam, the tenets of Younus AlGohar and more. Younus AlGohar’s answers, given on the spot with no prior information, left the scholars stunned. Part 2 is coming soon!

‘The Paradise is haram (prohibited) for non-Muslims. So how can they obtain Paradise by engaging their hearts in invocation of God’s name?’ 4:17

‘Are Muslims and the disbelievers equal?’ 9:06

‘How is it possible for God’s name to enter the hearts of people from any religion, especially when they do not follow Prophet Mohammad?’ 9:42

‘What is your tenet about Hadith (Prophetic Traditions)?’ 15:09

‘Gohar Shahi says that there are 40 parts of the Koran. Prove this in light of the Koran and Prophetic Traditions.’ 17:20

‘If Gohar Shahi is really Imam Mehdi, then prove it through the Koran and Prophetic Traditions.’ 29:05

‘According to Rouh Shanas page 3, there are five Pillars of Islam. Besides the Motto of Faith, all the other Pillars are temporary. What sort of knowledge is this that declares all the other Pillars to be temporary?’ 43:49

‘Who was the woman with Gohar Shahi when He was in the jungle for spiritual austerity? What would she talk to Him about?’ 47:21

‘According to Rouhani Safar, [HDE Gohar Shahi wrote about an incident whereby someone came and said], “When I raised my hand, it was with the visualisation that I was holding God. And when I brought my hands towards my mouth, the visualisation was that God’s name had entered my mouth.” Is this not blasphemous to God?’ 58:34

On the holy day of Jashan-e-Riaz (25 November), which celebrates the arrival of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi in this world, Younus AlGohar delivered a ground-breaking speech and revealed the ultimate divine secret: Alif Laam Ra in light of the Koran.

Main points:

- There are the Disjointed Letters (Haruf-e-Mukatiyat) in the Koran. Each letter represents an entire set of knowledge or a personality. Two sets of Disjointed Letters are mentioned in this speech: ALM and ALR.

- The divine secrets, meaning and the accompanying spiritual benevolence of ALM are all rendered from the heart of Prophet Mohammad. According to the Koran 2:1-3, the Pure Ones (Mutakeen), who believe in the Unseen and who have established Salat receive the benevolence of ALM; they share their esoteric and exoteric provisions with humanity. The conditions mentioned in this verse of the Koran indicate that ALM has been capped with religious restrictions - it is to be granted those who have accepted Islam only.

- His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi says, 'To recognise and access God, learn spirituality regardless of what religion or sect you belong to.' In Koran 14:1, God said to Prophet Mohammad, 'O' Messenger of God, we also revealed the knowledge of ALR so that you could take humanity out from the darkness of misguidance and towards divine energy. You have permission from your Lord to do.’ God did not place any religious restrictions upon ALR; God gave Prophet Mohammad permission to use ALR to bring humanity towards divine energy - regardless of their religion.

- Koran 93:4 states that Prophet Mohammad's second era would be greater than his first. After the Night of Ascension, Prophet Mohammad told his close Companions that in the end times, a personality from his lineage would come and free the world of darkness and tyranny. When he was asked to describe this personality, Imam Mehdi, Prophet Mohammad would describe himself. According to Prophetic Traditions, Imam Mehdi would be identical to Prophet Mohammad from head to toe; and Imam Mehdi would have Mohammad in him. Imam Mehdi has the presence of Prophet Mohammad in Him; He has Prophet Mohammad's Terrestrial Spirits, Prophet Mohammad's Akhfah (Hamid) and Prophet Mohammad's Ana (Mehmood). The personality of Imam Mehdi, His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi, is partially the second era of Prophet Mohammad.

- Some of the Koran was for Prophet Mohammad’s first era which was restricted by the religion and some of the Koran is for the second era in which there are no restrictions of the religion. The Dhikr of ALRA and secrets of ALRA, according to the Koran, were revealed upon the heart of the Prophet Mohammad. ALRA is not a new innovation, it is an exclusive Custom of the Prophet Mohammad. Whoever wants to meet the Lord, he can do so without entering any religion, without any restrictions - he can come forward as a member of humanity and enlighten his heart and soul with Alif Laam Ra, the custom of Prophet Mohammad’s second era.

- God's religion is God's love. Imam Mehdi, with all spiritual power and authority, is making this religion of God readily available. The knowledge of ALR is not new; it was granted by Prophet Mohammad to Bibi Fatima so that she could bless the Hindus, it was given to personalities like Ghous Pak so that they could bless people like Baba Guru Nanak. When somebody asked His Divine Eminence, 'I understand there are many divine protocols associated with receiving the Opening of the Spiritual Heart as a Muslim; what about the non-Muslims?' HDE Gohar Shahi replied, ‘For them, I am enough.’

- His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi mentioned in His Book, The Religion of God, that in the end times, a special soul would come and grant people a special name of God. That special name is ALR. When Prophet Mohammad ascended on the Night of Ascension and asked God to increase knowledge in him, God granted him the knowledge of ALR.

Younus AlGohar answers questions from viewer Ehsan Qazi and a group of religious scholars about the tenets of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi, particularly about Salat (Namaz) and the crucial role the heart plays in Islam. He also explains his tenets regarding Hajj, Zakat, fasting and the Day of Judgement.

Main points:

- Salat is a sublime type of worship granted to Prophet Mohammad's Nation by God. The worship of all the angels combined cannot equal the Salat of a True Believer. The foremost obligation in Islam is the Motto of Faith, which is the greatest invocation according to the Koran. Prophet Mohammad first settled the Motto of Faith in the hearts and people's Lower Selves were purified in Prophet Mohammad's company. It was only after the hearts were filled with divine energy and the Lower Selves were purified that Prophet Mohammad ascended on the Night of Ascension and brought back the gift of Salat. Then, when people would perform Salat, the divine energy of the Salat would enter their hearts. This is why Prophet Mohammad said that Salat is invalid without the presence of the heart.

- Islam requires 'declaration by the tongue and affirmation by the heart.' When you verbally say God's name, your heart should also invoke upon God. Guidance does not have to do with the tongues or the deeds of the body; guidance is to do with the heart. The Koran says that those who obtain Shahr-e-Sadr (Opening of the Chest) for Islam will obtain God's light. The spiritual dignitaries have said that reviving the heart and flourishing the heart with God's name is the beginning of Sharah-e-Sadr. The Koran forbids following people whose hearts God has kept heedless of his remembrance. When you become a True Believer that is when the Salat becomes obligatory upon you. In order to become a True Believer, it is necessary for the heart to recite the Motto of Faith.

- Fasting in obligatory upon True Believers. The purpose of fasting is to purify the Lower Self. When you keep your stomach empty of food and your liver dry of water for extended periods of time, as a True Believer, the divine energy from your heart will enter your stomach and liver. This is how the Lower Self will begin to be purified, consuming a diet of divine energy as opposed to its usual diet of negative energy. The reason people fast and yet are involved in all sorts of vices is that they are not True Believers and are not reaping the spiritual benefits of fasting.

- True Hajj is when all seven of your subtleties have engaged in their respective forms of invocation simultaneously. Then when you circumambulate the Kaaba, with each round, a theophany from Bait ul Mamour will fall upon one of your subtleties; this is how all seven of your subtleties will come under the theophanies of Bait ul Mamour by the end of the Hajj. This is when your Hajj is accepted and your faith is perfected.

- A Muslim gives 2.5% of their earnings to Zakat whereas a saint of God gives 97.5% of their earnings to Zakat. A common Muslim has to provide for his family whereas a saint of God is one who has plunged into the ocean of divine energy of God’s name; he is one who is lost in God’s love. A saint of God breaks off all his relations and remembers nobody else but God; therefore, all his wealth goes into Zakat.

- God is the Owner of the Day of Judgement. Whatever your deeds, good or bad, it is up to God where you will end up. If anyone is granted salvation, they will be granted it with the permission of God only. If any prophet, messenger or saint grants salvation, they are doing it with God’s permission.

In response to a viewer's question about God's style of speaking in the Koran, Younus AlGohar gives the true, esoteric explanation of a statement God made in Koran 7:172, which is commonly mistranslated as 'Am I not your Lord'?

Main points:

- Sometimes, God refers to himself in the third person and sometimes, God used to the plural pronoun, 'We' when addressing himself. This is due to God's temperament and further explanation cannot be given without asking God himself about it.

- There are two types of interpretations of the Koran: Tafseer and Taweel. Tafseer is the interpretation of the Koran based upon one's own intellectual understanding, research in dictionaries and Sharia - in short, it is based upon exoteric knowledge. On the other hand, a Taweel is based upon esoteric knowledge - it is divine inspiration sent by God onto a saint of God.

- The exoteric interpretation of 'Al Ast Bi Rabbikum' is 'Am I not your Lord'? But the esoteric interpretation - which is more appropriate - is, 'Am I not with your Provider?' There is a huge difference between the words 'Rab' and 'Mabood'. 'Mabood' means 'Creator' and 'Rab' means 'Provider'. The context of this statement in Koran 7:172 is that God had gathered the souls of the messengers, prophets and saints and stood next to them, saying to the souls, 'Am I not with your Provider?' Because on Earth, the prophets, messengers and saints would be the ones who would nurture the souls of common people. They would be the ones who dispensed guidance to people. God wanted to show the souls that the messengers, prophets and saints standing with him were acting on his behalf; they were not separate from him.

- The next sentence in the verse, 'We bear witness,' proves that the correct translation of 'Al Ast Bi Rabbikum' is actually 'Am I not with your Provider?' rather than 'Am I not your Lord?' Because the souls could not have possibly bore witness to their own creation, hence they could not have claimed to be able to verify God being their creator. Secondly, was there any doubt among the souls of God being their creator, due to which God would ask such a question? The answer is no. Therefore, what God was asking and what the souls bore witness to was not God's Creatorhood, but rather the fact that the prophets, messengers and saints were with God and they were to render spiritual provisions to the souls when they came to Earth.

Younus AlGohar reveals the precious criterion granted to humanity by the grace of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi, which enables them to determine who they should or should not follow in light of the Koran.

Main points:
- In the Koran 18:28, God says, 'Do not follow a person whose heart I have barred from my remembrance.' If your heart has been kept heedless of God's remembrance, even if you have read 10 000 books, you should not be followed according to this verse of the Koran. If you read this verse of the Koran carefully, the question that should arise in your mind is: 'How will I recognise whether the person before me has a heard that has been barred from God's remembrance or not?'

- Nobody - no religious scholar or Mufti - has the answer to this verse of the Koran. The one who gave the answer to this verse was His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi. How important it is for you to determine who you can follow and who you cannot follow - this is a fundamental issue. Without the criterion, you won't be able to tell which scholar is a true scholar and who you should follow and who you shouldn't follow - and so without it, you were misguided.

- Forget about recognising whether or not somebody else's heart engages in God's remembrance; you don't even know if your own heart does. But His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi gave the criterion which is the key to the Koran and the gist of the Koran: If you want to know whether somebody's heart has been barred from the remembrance of God or is engaged in God's remembrance, first bring the remembrance of God in your own heart.

- If your heart remembers God and the heart of the person in front of you remembers God, the remembrance of God in your heart will collide with the remembrance of God in his heart. Then your heartbeats will rise and you will recognise that he too has God's name invoking in his heart. If your heart remembers God but the heart of the cleric in front of you doesn't, then you will feel uneasy in their company.

Younus AlGohar answers a viewer's question about whether or not it is allowed in Islam to seek help from Prophet Mohammad, Moula Ali, Imam Mehdi or any other spiritual dignitary.

Main points:

- God did not say that you must ask God for help in every single matter. God has taken the responsibility of some things and some things are Prophet Mohammad's responsibility. God has said he will grant guidance. Life and death are in God's hands. Distribution of provisions is God's responsibility.However, the task of granting spiritual benevolence to the hearts of people is Prophet Mohammad's.

- Guidance will be granted by God but the knowledge of how faith will be inserted in your heart will be granted through Prophet Mohammad. If we are under any calamity or face any troubles, even for that we must ask help from the saints and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The Koran says, 'Ask those who possess the knowledge, if you do not know it.' Asking for knowledge is a form of seeking help.

- Some people say that all knowledge is found in the Koran. If that were the case then why would the Koran tell you to ask the Ahle Zikar to obtain the knowledge you do not have? Prophet Mohammad said, 'I am the City of Knowledge and Ali is its Gateway.'

- We cannot ask God for anything directly, without an intermediary. Even if we did, we would not obtain anything. Therefore, we must ask of God through an intermediary (Bil Wasta). How can it be that God's method of rendering guidance is Bil Wasta and the method of helping would be Bila Wasta (without an intermediary)? If we had a direct connection to God, would God have thought it necessary to send the messengers?

- God said in the Koran, 'O' Lord, we want to worship you only and in order to become capable of worshipping you, we seek your help.' This is an indication towards the special worship - worship of the soul not the worship of the body. In other words, it means: We want to worship you with the compound of our body and soul. And then the Koran says, 'Show us the Straight Path that leads to you. The path of those whom you have rewarded with your blessings.' This is clear evidence that we require God's help - and God's help is in the form of the prophets, messengers, saints, Sualiheen, Fuqra and connecting our hearts with God.
